Project Summary

VeryCreatives developed an iPad/iOS game for Central European University to serve as a customizable research tool for studying children’s behavior. The three-person team (project manager, iOS developer and graphic designer) tailored gameplay and configurable parameters to the researchers' needs. The client praised the app's flexibility and the vendor's bilingual communication, responsiveness, and adaptability throughout the project.
